        Bānu Gošasb is a famous heroine who has always been considered because of her special personality.The question that arises is about the origin of such a character and such a heroine.This heroine always has been related to goddesses, while mythological, historical, and sociological origins have been supposed for her, and also, some researchers introduce her emanating either from matriarchal culture or patriarchal culture. In this essay, following the traces of her origin, we raise this question “Is Bānu Gošasb a Scythian heroine”?For this purpose, we refer to the Scythia of the Rostam family. Afterwards, we gather the features of Scythians, Sarmatians, and Scythians females;Because Bānu Gošasb is Rostam's daughter and if Rostam is from Scythian family, his daughter is also a Scythian lady.We examine the character of Bānu Gošasbin various texts and finally compare her characteristics with Scythian women. The result of this study shows that many characteristics of Bānu Gošasb and Scythian women are common and Bānu Gošasb is a Scythian heroine. Manuscript profile

        Banoo-Goshasb-Name is an epic poem whose subject matter is the life and prowess of Banoo-Goshasb, the daughter of Rostam, and is the only Iranian national epic that its hero is a heroine lady. In scientific research, the determination of the true value of a work depends to a large extent on stylistics studies; therefore, the style of the epic poems has always been of interest to Persian literature scholars and in many researches they have been dealing with the epic and especially the epics that have been written in imitation of Shahnameh in subsequent periods. This research, which has been conducted with a thorough study based on stylistic studies, aims to show the linguistic and ideological characteristics of Banoo-Goshasb-Name as one of the epic poems of Iran. An accurate and detailed examination of all verses of this poem, based on the narrators' stories and what was said on the language of the legacies of the Persian culture of Iran, showed that this work, whose author is unknown, was among poems that has been somewhat successful in imitation of Ferdowsi. The themes of romance and grandeur, indulgence, the influence of religious thoughts and prayers, the passing of the code of marriage by the priests, patriarchy, and the mention of some ethical points are among the most important contents and ideologies of this poem.
